The first and foremost stop in the cycle of life, and then again the final one down the line. It is distant. It is eerie and it is sombre. It is strangely electrifying. The icy glow of stainless steel, the glaring lights from above. Everything around feels foreign, but it all makes sense. No other place can spark utmost hope, yet induce sheer trepidation. No other place but this can make one look at life with fresh eyes.
